Kryptonics - Rejectionville dbl cd (Memorandum AUSTRALIA)

$17.99

"Rejectionville is the definitive 37-track
anthology of this perennially under-appreciated garage power-pop outfit
from Perth, Western Australia. Kryptonics emerged in 1985 from the same creative melting-pot that spawned The Stems and The Triffids.
Over a 7-year period they recorded some fantastic garage-soaked tunes,
with an array of line-ups that included future members of Lubricated Goat, You Am I, New Christs, Hard-Ons, The Chevelles, Challenger 7 and (the reformed) Radio Birdman. The Kryptonics
existed in the pre-digital era and their vinyl catalog (which now
demands high prices on eBay) has never previously been issued on CD.
Subsequently, they have remained one of the more enigmatic bands to
emerge from the much-celebrated '80s Australian garage-rock'n'roll
scene. A band that many have heard of, rather than heard. Rejectionville
includes the band's entire recorded output plus an extra CD of
unreleased live and studio tracks. It documents the band's journey from
young Scientists/Cramps wannabes to a more mature, Detroit
rock-flecked power-pop sound. This 2CD is presented in a deluxe
gatefold card wallet with a 28-page booklet full of liners, photos and a
"Pete Frame"-style family tree that maps the band's extensive genome.
This is an essential purchase for the Australian garage/rock'n'roll
enthusiast as well as those already familiar with the band." - memorandum
